But as she approaches 40 and hits a health stumbling block, Beth realises that her wine industry job, successful boyfriend and Manhattan lifestyle don't add up to as much as she thought, leading her back into her past as a teen in Long Island.

She decides to follow her heart in finding a new life away from the city - the problem is, she's struggling to work out what her heart wants and where her passions lie.

The first trailer shows Beth meeting John, played by Superbad and Arrested Development star Cera, who introduces her to life in the country with nettle harvesting, rabbit shooting and farming.

While Beth is convinced that her flashbacks to life as a teenager are telling her to make some major changes, her Manhattan friends aren't so convinced.
